Batam to host int'l golf meet

JAKARTA (JP): An international golf tournament will be held at
the Tering Bay golf course on Batam Island, Riau province,
between Oct. 28 and Oct. 29, with the players vying for the
Madame Tien Soeharto Cup.

Prof. Suhardiman of the Merah Putih Foundation said in a press
release yesterday that the tournament, jointly organized by the
foundation and the Meilin Hikaru Batam company, is part of the
campaign to maintain friendship between Indonesian state
officials and entrepreneurs and their counterparts in Singapore,
Malaysia, Thailand and Chinese Taipei.

One of President Soeharto's golf clubs and a signed photograph
of President and Mrs. Soeharto will also be up for grabs in an
auction to be held in conjunction with the tournament.

Tering Bay is one of several golf courses designed by world
number one golfer Greg Norman of Australia. (amd)
